JCoR Workshop for Religious in Zimbabwe
JCoR-Zimbabwe is offering a peacebuilding workshop from 29 June to 1 July 2023 in Mutare. This workshop will be a gathering to follow-up on the JCoR-CMRS workshop held last October in Gweru, and it will focus on Sustainable Development Goal 16: peace, justice, and strong institutions. It will also be an opportunity to organize ourselves to support healthy participation of Zimbabweans in our upcoming national elections, to contribute to the maintenance of a peaceful environment in our localities throughout the process, and to prepare those who are interested to assist in election monitoring. We aim to have each member congregation of CMRS represented among the participants.
